Dixit Dominus Domino meo:
      Sede a dextris meis.
Donec ponam inimicos tuos,
      scabellum pedum tuorum.

The Lord said to my Lord,
      "Sit at My right hand,
until I make your foes
      a stool beneath your feet."

Virgam virtutis tuae
      emittet ex Sion:
dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.

The Lord will extend from Zion
      the sceptre of your power.
Rule in the midst of your foes!

Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae
in splendorbus sanctorum:
ex utero ante luciferum genui te.

Yours the princely rank from your birth day
in holy splendor
Like dew before the day star I have begotten you.

Juravit Dominus, et non paenitebit eum:
Tu es sacerdos in aeternum
secundum ordinem Melchisedech.

The Lord has sworn and will not repent,
"You are a priest forever,
a priest like to Melchisedech."

Dominus a dextris tuis,
Confregit in die irae suae reges.

The Lord is at your right hand,
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas:
conquassabit capita in terra multorum.

He will judge the nations, heap up the slain,
destroy the leaders far and wide.

De torrente in via bibet:
propterea exaltabit caput.

On his way, he will drink of the torrent,
so to look up in triumph.

Gloria Patri, et Filio,
      et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat inprincipio, et nunc, et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Glory to the Father, to the Son,
      and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, now and for ever,
throughout all ages. Amen.
